Studying Abroad: Hardships and Rewards

There is no denying the fact that studying abroad is a hotly debated2 topic today. As far as I’m， concerned, I believe hardships and rewards coexist and people have to consider it from all sides.

引言部分：作者先提出留学是个热门话题 ，然后说明留学有利有弊应全面综合来考虑 。这表明下文将既讲利又讲弊。

Obviously, studying abroad has a number of rewards . In the first place, a student can have access to advanced science and technology as well as desirable working conditions which mightnot be available at home. In the second place, he can be exposed to entirely new ideas and trends. Last but not least, by living and studying in a foreign country, one can improve his foreign language much faster than at home.

Nevertheless, as every coin has two sides, studying abroad also confronts one with a series of hardships. For one thing, learning a foreign language is far from an easy thing at the beginning for most people. For another, a completely new environment with different customs and habits may also be a barrier to overseas students, especially to the young. An added difficulty lies with finance: it can cost a lot to study abroad.

主体部分：作者先说有几个显而易见的益处是列举观点时常用的句式。然后用“In the first place, ... In the second place, ... Last but not least” 。nevertheless进行转折，说明留学会让人遇到很多困难。这时列举所用的句式换为“for one thing ... for another...”使文章更富有变化。

Therefore, studying abroad should be viewed as a two-edged sword, which presents us with10 both benefi ts and troubles. The best policy11, as I see it, is to take into consideration his financial conditions and his ability to adapt to new surrounding. Personally, I’d choose to go abroad and study if I find it necessary.

总结部分 ：作者概述上面所列利弊，用“a two-edged sword”来概括再恰 当不过，并提出选择出国留学的标准应该是“take into consideration his financial conditions and his ability to adapt to new surrounding”。

亮点回放

1. there is no denying that:“无可否认” ；还可以用undoubtedly ，without doubt等更为简洁的表达方式 。

2. hotly debated: “被激烈讨论的” ；相当于“heavily/frequently discussed” ，但比之要g更地道些 。

3. rewards: “奖赏、报酬 、报答” ；此处表示“回报”，近义词为“returns”。

4. have access to: “能获得”，access的形容词accessible也经常使用在be accessible to的词组中，注意与之区别 。

5.desirable:“令人满意的，称心如意的”，另外它的反义词undesirable表示 “不尽如人意的”。

6. be exposed to: “暴露在……之下”，此处还可以用 “be faced with ，be confronted with”等。

7. confront sb. with sth.: “使某人遭遇到 （某事 ）” ，此处注意与be exposed to的区别 ，前者不以人为主语 ，用主动语态 ；后者以人为主语 ，用被动语态 。

8. far from: “远离” ，此处表示 “远非” ，相当于never ，但语气委婉些 。

9. barrier:“障碍” ，近义词还有 “obstacle ，block ，hardship ，setback”等 。

10. present sb. with sth.: “给某人带来某物” ，也可以用 “provide sb. with sth.” ，但present 显得更正式些 。

11. policy : “政策 、方针 、保险单” ，此处 “the best policy ”表示“最好的办法” ，用法地道 。
